Kiwi Wikileaks
December 12th, 2010 at 11:32 am by David FarrarNicky Hager and the Sunday Star Times have had Wikileaks hand over to them 1,500 cables mentioning New Zealand.
The main article reveals that last August saw the US Government restore New Zealand to full intelligence-sharing status.
They have a 53 page pdf of the cables here.
A story on journalists who have got state department visits is here.
Another story on the anti-nuke laws.
Danyl at the Dim-Post has sorted some of the cables into separate text files, with keywords.
Simon Lyall blogs on how one cable explicitly names the Deputy Director of the NZ SIS, which is a breach of the NZ SIS Act 1969, specifically s13A(1):
Every person commits an offence and is liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding $1,000, who (except with the written consent of the Minister) publishes or causes or allows to be published in a newspaper or other documsent, or broadcasts or causes or allows to be broadcast by radio or television or otherwise, the fact that any person is a member of the New Zealand Security Intelligence Service other than the Director.
I guess the Sunday Star-Times decided that a maximum $1,000 fine is not much of a deterrent.
Having googled the name of the Deputy Director, it is fair to say that his involvement in the intelligence community is not exactly a secret – however his current role is.

So is Mr Hagar now taking credit for Wikileaks? Awesome.

So let’s get this straight. Clark caused the whole thing in the first place – she was a strong driver behind the anti-nuke legislation. Then, 25 years later, when the US is FINALLY willing to resume intelligence sharing, she drags the chain. Of course this is no surprise. Clark’s anti-US views have been well known. To have this behaviour confirmed with these cables however given the vital interest both the US and NZ has in full intelligence sharing what with the war on terror and all, shows just how willing Clark was to put both NZ’s and the US’s vital security interests at risk, simply because of her poisonous ideologically-driven anti-US bent.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Who the fuck does Clark think she is. This is OUR country not HER country.
Worst PM ever.

The problem with Hagar, Assange and for that matter Whaleoil is that they believe themselves to have special knowledge or gifts that allow them to determine what is best for the rest of us. They are prepared to put the rest of us and our livelihoods at risk to satisfy their engorged sslf righteous ego’s.
Some bloggers are now putting the lives of Assanges rape accusers (Ardin and Wilen) at risk by publishing information that would allow nut jobs to track them down. Irresopective of whether theiraccusations are vexatious or not is totally wrong.
The web & social media has created the potential for lives to be destroyed by anonymous cowards sitting in their sweaty bedrooms and lounges.
“Posting their addresses and phone numbers isn’t intended to encourage vigilantism, but to send a bigger message to women like Ardin and Wilen – if you lie about being raped, this is what will happen to you. ”

That confirms for me that Assange is a West-hating leftist.
The old proverb notes: you can judge a man by the company he keeps.
And for Assange that’s people like Hager the Horrible.
Yuck!

I sure hope y’all get a good price when you sell your country out to the US. Australians got visa-free travel, and discounted entry to Disneyland. Of course, we’ve got more troops to give away. Drat that naughty wikileaks truther though! I think he’s putting Disney World at risk.

Bryla trumpets more anti-Americanism.
What do you think of Assange’s treatment of the Swedish leftist, feminist ladies, Bryla?
What do you think of the way the loony left turned on these women – it’s own – when they dared complain?
Assange’s no hero. He’s a pasty-faced, ageing hacker with an insane thirst for attention. Hand him over to the feministas, they’ll give it to him.
The real hero of December is Liu Xiaobo. Real courage and love of democracy.

The thing that these trendy lefties,feminists ,and anti American commie catholics need to remember (and conveniently choose to forget) is that it was/is American blood and treasure that has guaranteed their freedom for the last 70 years.Along with the other Anglo Saxon democracies.

kowtow,
That is one way of viewing WWII. Another is that the Yanks waited to see who to back in Europe. They were waiting in hope that the USSR and NAZI Germany would destroy each other and then they would march in and liberate Europe (along with their Allies either USSR or Germany depending on who they thought they could dominate)
The problems for the US were two-fold. One the Japanese invaded Pearl Harbour and two the UK held out (as the Yanks expected them to capitulate which they would have under Chamberlain)

Why do left wing tards like Bryla think mutual cooperation with a superpower is “I sure hope y’all get a good price when you sell your country out to the US” but when these scumbags get a leg-up and direct financial aid in their terrorist activity from Cuba or Libya or Venezuela or Bolivia or whatever, it’s not “selling out to socialist shitheads?”
A little bit of consistency would be nice.

Bryla, sell our country to the US, piss off noddy?. It’s fine to put the boot in but I know people who forth in the pacific and you can be a cutie and a smart arse liberal all you like.

Fletch>So, will these be known as WiKiwiLeaks?
Assange has deleted his own blog at some stage. Luckily it has been leaked and shows what a pretentious toss pot wanker he is. Lefties love this sort of shit:

I think we need a site WikiLeaksLeaks to track people like Assange and hold them to account. Or to ridicule.

Julian Assange is a fool. Both he and Wikileaks are being manipulated. These leaks have been orchestrated, for instance , has there being anything truly disagreeable, anything that would drag down a nation, anything new, or something we don’t know already?
Vote:It all seems to good to be true, almost like a Matt Damon movie The Bourne Supremacy.

Really? To suggest that Clark was not sensible to be cautious of the American’s position is an arse of a statement.
